I dont know the english word for it, in swedish, its called "trioler".
Mayby someone understands what i mean.


how do i do a midiclip that goes in 16T, or 8T for example?

I can zoom in and put the tones in the right place, then move the loop-points and so on, but it takes time.

There must be a easyer way to do a clip in 8T?
In reasons matrix for example when you build a "midiclip", you just choose simple and easy whithout having to change the hole songs preferences.

Propably i just missed some simple button, but, help?

well, you can record directly in triplets (that's the english word for trioler).
you must set it in the edit menu ->record quantization.

unfortunately, when you edit the data inside a clip, you first need to make it a T clip. Ctrl-3 is the shortest way for that.
then when you consolidate (Ctrl-J) a midi clip in triplets, it comes back to straight... so you'd better use the split function (Ctrl-E)

i work a lot with triplets, and i must say that it is not always very convenient with Live.
don't know about other apps though.

hmm, so there is no "magic button" to turn the clip to a triplet-clip?


Ableton-team.... do it! please!
Live is about working in speed, right? =)

well, Ctrl-3 is quite fast......

how about ctrl-u ? Or is that too slow as well?
